Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 17 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 7.8 over 13 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
5 of 10 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Out for 0 in 31% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.24 dismissals per match across 17 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 11.4.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.69.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 19 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 72 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 17). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 4 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 17 matches — 0.24 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 13 innings at 7.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 32 wickets in 16 matches bowled in (of 17 played) — 2.00 per match at 11.4, economy 3.69, strike rate 18.6.
